The Tourist Games
About my absence from posting, honestly, I just ain't felt like it.
So, what's your thoughts in Hurricane Lanterns?
The Appalachianist
Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.
I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Have not seen the movie, probably will not. I grew up surrounded by and living in a mill village. Such villages were common in Gaston County, NC, that's where the "lintheads" lived after they came down from the mountains to find work.
Erskine Caldwell's "God's Little Acre" gives a very accurate depiction of a mill village.
All the folks I knew were just trying to make a living during hard times.
All the cotton mills are overseas now.
Don't have an account with google, so it's just me Olengineer aka Travlin' Ed's dad
Olengineer, I've been swamped the last few days. I never really thought about the word linthead and it's meaning. Which, makes sense, I used to live next door to a boy that worked in the cotton mill before it shut down, he'd come home with lint in his hair. He's an odd one, but, I always counted him as my friend...Until he found out I had had some dates with a girl he knew on line. She asked him how he knew me, he said he never did and unfriended me on FaceBook. That bit of low class right there kind of sealed the unfriend thing.
I've not seen the Hunger Games yet - heard mixed things about it, some people love it, some don't - my brother described it as 'Battle Royale with Cheese', which I thought was quite funny.
Hope you rediscover the drive to start positing again - it always fascinating to read blogs from military and ex military types.
i like your blog, i can found a lot of information inside your blog. thanks for your sharing..
